From our rules interpreter this morning discussing the exact situation. Since it is after an intermission, we must use the resumption-of-play procedure first. Further delay would result in the technical and/or forfeit depending.

At the same time, we discussed what the officials were doing (or not doing) during the last minutes of the intermission. By rule, the referee needs to have both teams notified at the 3 minute mark (2-4-4). It was suggested that at the 1 minute mark, make another attempt to find out if the absent team was notified.

Tell your rule interpreter to read case book play 10.1.9COMMENT- "The resumption of play procedure is in effect to start the second half unless either team is not on the court. In that case, regular delay provisions are in force".

Then find a new rules interpreter.

Thanks for the point in the right direction Jurassic. Actually, I learn more about the rules of this game right here and this just proves the point.
